The trailer 

"People have wondered who I really am. Portrayal of me is I’m a bad guy, But no one really knows me,"  McMahon says in the trailer’s opening moments. WWE stars such as  Hulk Hogan, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, John Cena, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and Bret “The Hitman” Hart are seen in the trailer talking about Vince and his journey with WWE.

“Mr. McMahon chronicles the rise and fall of Vince McMahon, controversial businessman and co-founder of WWE. From his transformation of the WWE from a small, regional business into a global entertainment powerhouse to the explosive sexual misconduct allegations that led to his eventual resignation, this six-episode series offers a deep dive into McMahon’s life and his enduring franchise,” Netflix said in a synopsis.

 

“The goal behind Mr. McMahon was to pull back the curtain and reveal the true Vince McMahon, obscured beneath the persona he presented to the world. Over the four years of production, the story evolved in truly shocking ways, culminating in some extremely harrowing allegations. The final product is a revealing documentary that we believe offers a rich and nuanced portrait of the man and the complex legacy he left behind,” filmmaker Chris Smith previously revealed.

 

 

 

Vince McMahon is still fighting the legal battle due to which he had to step down as the chairman of WWE.
